Bearclaw Valley sunshine, through the rain and snow

while it heartened indra to learn her sister had found new resolve, she was not so easily swayed -- as she saw it, their place in bearclaw was coming to a cold termination. unless there was some massive change of fate, some inexorable rearrangement of who was alpha, indra couldn't see them lasting long in bearclaw's hold. yet laurel was right -- the puppies needed safety, security -- both of which were tentatively offered here.

she could not foresee them leaving immediately, but that did not mean it did not weight heavily in the back of her mind. gently, she butted laurel's head and murmured. "i know.. i just want what we deserve now. we deserve it, and they deserve it." she pulled back solemnly and examined her claws for a moment. "it's just hard to stand by and watch it, is all. he doesn't treat you the way he treats her and it just eats me."
